Favourite recipes and stories from the kitchens of ABC Radio listeners, selected by Valli Little of delicious magazine.
This compendium of the best of Australian homecooking, contributed by ABC Radio listeners all around Australia, offers 150 breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes that include some of the most loved classics from Australian kitchens and a few surprises as well.
Grandma's baked apple dumplings, Uncle Emilio's fettucine, Mum's beef stew and best friend Janie's to-die-for chocolate cake; all those recipes that you've asked your family and friends for again and again; they're all in here.
Our contributors have also provided a story about each recipe, explaining why the dish is so loved. These stories are always interesting, sometimes funny and occasionally moving, such as that of the brother, killed in battle, whose mother would always cook his favourite pudding when he came home on leave, so that whenever the dish is cooked now, his brother remembers him . . .
